I was hoping for something a bit more technical than that roflmao.

If i ran a lead out there today, i'd end up with a kevin keegan type perm  ;D

But good morning to you sparky1, here have a rainbow (taken 10 mins ago).

Beautiful rainbow there MrsKP  ;D

Welcome sparky.

Fishing, my hubby likes fishing. I went fishing once and caught a mackerel. Think it was on Gardeners Question Time (GQT) on Radio 4 one Sunday (repeated Wednesday) that I heard the American Indians used to put a fish head in the soil under each sweetcorn seed/seedling.

Welcome sparky. Come on in and enjoy the site. We do love pics so get clicking ;D You won't find a better site, we do have a few oddballs, me being one of them. Members do tolerate me, they respect age ;D

Oh Mrs KP, I love the rainbow piccy.  They are usually so difficut to capture well.  Love the fact it's a double one, too.  We've seen lots of those here over the past week.  The kids at school are now fascinated by them.

Hi Sparky!  I don't post much here, but I love to get advice from reading everyone else's posts!
